LAS VEGAS, NV —Webcam star Ginger Banks and MILF actress Raven Hart were interviewed about life in the adult industry by the website Hollywood Life last week, and the resulting article, “Porn Stars Explain Why Fellow Adult Stars Are Suffering & Dying,” has been picked up by online news websites all over the world.
“Since the article came out, my fans have been coming up to me at AEE this week in Las Vegas wanting to talk about this subject,” said Ginger. “If the article helps start a dialogue about depression and online bullying, I’m all for it.”
In fact, one seminar at the Adult Entertainment Expo, "Slut Shaming and Troll Taming," was devoted to that exact subject.
“The industry has been getting a lot of press in the last few weeks. I want the general-public to see us as real people with real issues,” explained Raven. “I’m just glad I wasn’t asked if I ever had sex with Donald Trump. I’d rather talk about important things.”
Ginger, who is active in the #WeAreMany sex worker movement, admitted her own struggles with depression in the interview. “The way society looks at and treats porn stars makes us more depressed; it is hard to feel like we don’t belong or that we are second class citizens,” she stated. “I have suffered depression because of the way people view my job. That is the worst part of this job, the way people treat me because of what I do for a living.”
Raven, a 40-year-old MILF, revealed that even though she’s relatively new to the industry, her age and experience has kept her grounded. “If you get into this business really, young, and you are already predisposed to your own personal issues of depression or whatever else, working in porn may intensify your issues. This is not a career for everyone. When you are younger, you get taken advantage of more, and if you don’t stand up for yourself or you don’t make it known that you are a professional, then these types of things can happen,” she told HollywoodLife.com.
